Liu Biao is more likely to be in trouble than in danger...
In August, when Yuan Shao received the news, he was stunned. He knew what Yuan Shu's virtues were. However, let alone Liu Biao, who was ranked among the "eighth" members of the party and had a high reputation, and Liu Biao was the appointed governor of Jingzhou, how could Yuan Shu dare?
To commit such a murderous act?
But I couldn't catch him
An evil fire ran from his back to the back of his head, burning his scalp until it made a buzzing sound.
Yuan Shao couldn't hold it any longer and was so angry that he kicked over the desk. The last time he did this was when Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the emperor, and he broke up with him on the spot. But at that time, he was angry and angry. In fact, he also had three intentional tastes.
, because he had already planned to get rid of Dong Zhuo. But this time he was really angry.
Looking at Yuan Shao who suddenly went crazy, Xu You smiled bitterly and did not say anything to dissuade him. Ever since he left the capital, everything had not gone smoothly. It was really hard for Yuan Shao to endure it. Let him vent his grievances in one breath.
.Only when your heart is as clear as a mirror can you maintain absolute calm.
"Huhuhu..." Yuan Shao returned to his seat and asked, "Are we going to send another Jingzhou governor?"
Yuan Shao still didn't calm down completely. Xu You shook his head secretly and said: "Yuan Shu took Nanyang, connected Jiangxia, and frightened the four counties in Jingnan with Sun Jian's power. Now Liu Jingsheng is more likely to be in trouble than good, Kuai Zirou, Kuai Yidu, Cai Degui is only
How can Yinan County resist? Yuan Shu will not give you any more time to send people. If nothing unexpected happens, news will come within ten days."
"Sun Jian, it's all caused by Sun Jian's son. This son has killed states and counties in succession, and his lawlessness is not necessarily stronger than the national thief Dong Zhuo. One day I will find him and kill him." Yuan Shao's barely suppressed anger emerged again. No wonder he hates him so much.
Sun Jian, without his appearance, Yuan Shu would probably still be lingering in Luyang.
Xu Youyi pointed out: "Should that matter continue?"
The so-called incident was a plan to establish Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, as emperor. This move was in response to Dong Zhuo's recent decision to send Dahong Lu Han Rong, Shaofu Yinxiu, Jinwu Hu Muban, and Wu Xiu, the great craftsman of Yueqi.
Wang Gui, the captain of the school, persuaded him to surrender to Guandong. There were many people in Dong Zhuo's court. If he continued to send people, could Yuan Shao continue to wield the butcher's knife? That would be tantamount to annihilating himself from the world. Moreover, because of Hu's mother,
Ban's death caused a rift between Yuan Shao and the heroes of Guandong, which urgently needed to be repaired.
It is undoubtedly a good choice to establish a joint king. At present, Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Kong Niao, the governor of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, and Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Zhang Miao's younger brother, have all shown interest. What surprised him was that he lived in seclusion.
The famous Confucian minister Lu Zhi in Youzhou was particularly enthusiastic about this matter.
In fact, there are traces of Lu Zhi's behavior. Twenty-two years ago, General Dou Wu made the 13-year-old Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty the emperor in order to conveniently take power. Lu Zhi, who was a commoner at the time, wrote a letter denounced Dou Wu's reckless behavior and advocated
Select older and more virtuous members of the clan. Dong Zhuo abolished the elders and established younger ones. Lu Zhi stood up again. He was the only one who openly opposed in the court and was almost killed by Dong Zhuo. Liu Yu was quite old and was known for his integrity and virtuousness.
Lu Zhi believed that only Liu Yu could save the crumbling Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shao said without thinking: "Of course we must continue. This is the fastest way to integrate Guandong."
Xu You hesitated and said: "But... let's not talk about Liu Yu who has always been known for his loyalty. Does he have the courage to bear the criticism from the world? Where will he establish his capital? There will be no result in arguing about this issue for several months. The foreign general will enter the court.
Or stay in office? How to balance interests if you join the court? How long will you stay in office? Where is Dong Zhuo? Where is Yuan Shu? Where is the emperor? Where are the courtiers in Chang'an?"
"..." Xu You's series of questions caused Yuan Shao to fall into deep thought for a long time.
Xu You continued: "There are too many variables in this matter. If you ask me, it is better to capture Jizhou as soon as possible. Now that we have the foundation to establish ourselves, we can establish an emperor and challenge Dong, and we can do whatever we want. Now the Yingchuan clan has fully turned against us, and several generals under Han Fu have
They have expressed their opinions one after another, and the last blow is just around the corner. Isn't Ziying in Montenegro? Let him go to Jizhou. There are also excuses. He needs money and food. The imperial court stipulates that Yan and the two states should give Bingzhou money and food every year. Last year Han Fu
No. It’s not like you didn’t hear it when we last met, Benchu. Ziying was holding a breath in his heart. I guess he will settle the score with Han Fu after he takes care of Black Mountain..."
Yuan Shao was silent for a moment and then said: "How about doing both things at the same time?"
Xu You asked: "Where is the time?"
"It's August now, so it will be at the beginning of next year." Yuan Shao thought for a while and said. This time is not decided by patting one's head, but by taking care of all aspects. First of all, Xu You said that it was an exaggeration to settle Han Fu, in order to make him
After making up the determination to seize Jizhou, it will take at least a few months to complete the work in Jizhou. Secondly, the matter of establishing the emperor will become clear, whether Liu Yu agrees or refuses, and thirdly, Gai Jun's time cooperation, he will be in the second half of this year
It's definitely too late to send troops...
"Okay." Xu You nodded in agreement.
Yuan Shao suddenly asked: "Is Ziying alone more powerful? How about letting Gongsun Bogui cooperate with Ziying?" In order to become famous in the world, Gongsun Zan escorted the criminal governor from Youzhou to the capital, and planned to go with him.
In Rinan, Jiaozhou, when he was setting up an altar to worship his ancestors in Mang Mountain, he was praised by Gai Jun. Yuan Shao saw it. Yuan Shao felt that his life experience was similar to his own, so he asked for a place of filial piety and honesty for him, as a favor. He wrote
With a letter, Gongsun Zan will definitely agree to come south.
"..." Xu You was speechless. What Yuan Shao meant was that the two powers were in a stalemate, and I was the fisherman. He was obviously worried about Gai Jun, fearing that he would take advantage of the situation and seize Jizhou for himself. For those in a superior position, this kind of consideration is very necessary.
From the perspective of a counselor, Xu You should be a strong supporter, but as a friend...
"Isn't it appropriate?" Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You indifferently.
Xu You sneered...
--------------------------
In three months from mid-to-late May to mid-to-late August, more than 300,000 people walked out of Hengshan. Gai Jun divided them into guilty and innocent. The guilty were the villagers who had resisted the Han army.
About 50,000 to 60,000 people, but he included all the men, women, old and children in the village. These people all went to the newly recovered Shuofang County to enrich the population of the frontier fortress. The remaining more than 200,000 people were all resettled in Taiyuan County.
Shangdang County mainly received Sili people who fled from Yin and Hanoi, Henan.
Gai Jun worked hard for the civil affairs of the village and was so exhausted that Dong Zhuo came to cause trouble again. It was not that he wanted to quarrel with Gai Jun, but that he was too poor and crazy.
Due to the cutoff of supplies from various prefectures and counties, Dong Zhuo could only control three assistants: Fufeng on the right, Fengyi on the left, Jingzhao Yin, Hongnong, Yin on Henan and part of Hedong, as well as several counties in Liangzhou, with a population of only more than 3 million. Updated
The terrible thing is that Liangzhou not only has no output, but also has to pay for it. All the good and medium acres in Sili are owned by wealthy families. Food can be expropriated by force, but the money is really short of money. There are hundreds of thousands of troops.
Crying to be fed.
Dong Zhuo was forced to a dead end and came up with a solution that was not a solution: casting small coins.
Dong Zhuo collected all the five-baht coins on the market, melted them down, and cast them into small coins. Even this was a drop in the bucket. He also collected relatively large copper products such as bronze figures, Zhongyu, Feilian, and bronze horses from Luoyang and Chang'an, and melted them all.
Drop coins.
Gai Jun was playing with an unwritten and inferior copper coin in his hand. It would be polite to say that it was inferior copper coin. It was cut corners and shoddy to the extreme, and it was basically out of the category of the five-baht coin of the Han Dynasty.
Gai Jun cursed in his heart: Damn, can this thing be called money? It’s more like a copper ring.
It is said that tens of thousands of these things are needed to exchange for one stone of grain in the Guanzhong area. However, in Youzhou, another neighboring country to Bingzhou, the price of one stone of grain is 30 yuan. Yes, it was still 50 yuan last year. This year, Youzhou has another bumper harvest.
The price drops again. On one side, one stone of grain costs tens of thousands of dollars, and on the other side, it costs thirty thousand dollars for one stone of grain. What does this mean? It means that the Han Empire is about to perish.
In the troubled times of the future, famine will be the second most deadly weapon for annihilating families and clans, even worse than war and second only to plague. The more food, the better. In a few years of chaos in Youzhou, there will be no food available, Gai Jun
He squeezed out tens of millions of dollars like toothpaste and bought grain from Youzhou. Gai Jun owned Bingzhou and Hedong Yanli, making hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Ordinarily, it would not be so difficult to spend tens of millions. The problem is that he has enough money to support him.
One hundred thousand horses. The cost of rations for soldiers alone is more than 100 million yuan a year. What about the rations for tens of thousands of war horses? At least 200 million yuan, the cost is even more than that of soldiers. Winter and summer clothing and shoes cost more than 200 million yuan, but what about weapons? Several thousand
Ten thousand……
Gai Jun couldn't bear to continue the calculation, and the result he got was extremely miserable.
Thinking of this, Gai Jun felt a little sympathetic to Dong Zhuo. Fatty Dong was not easy either. His method of managing the army was not to distinguish rewards and punishments, but to reward generously. He tried his best to win over the generals under his command, both Qiang and Hu. This method was indeed miraculous and effective.
It makes people extremely effective, but it is a bottomless pit that can never be filled. Moreover, if the financial resources are slightly insufficient, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people.
Dong Zhuo was really out of money when he moved the capital. With his acquiescence, the soldiers robbed all the powerful and wealthy households in Luoyang, and then reduced Henan and Gucheng counties to scorched earth. Now in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo is even poorer.
What to do with small money?
Sympathy was sympathy. Gai Jun was living well and had no interest in destroying Dong Zhuo together. He hurriedly ordered the Beidi and Shangjun counties bordering Zuo Fengyi, Hanoi and Hedong areas belonging to Sili to refuse the entry of small money. Especially Hedong.
, the two sides are in the same county and are closely connected, so they cannot avoid intersecting, and must be severely prohibited.
At the end of August, the news that Liu Biao had died without a complete body and that Yuan Shu had been worshiped as Jingzhou Mu came at the same time. Gai Jun was shocked and stunned. Is this the butterfly effect?
Ma Teng took refuge, Zhang Yan died, and Zhang Yang surrendered. Gai Jun didn't think anything of it, but Liu Biao was completely different.
Did Sun Jian die at the hands of Liu Biao? Now that Liu Biao is dead, this fierce tiger will undoubtedly make greater waves on the stage of the late Han Dynasty. What about Sun Ce? If his father Sun Jian had not died, of course he would not be as early as in history.
die.
Even more important is Yuan Shu. In the heyday of Yuan Shu's history, he controlled parts of Jingzhou, Sili, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. Cao Cao, who only had Yanzhou at that time, was unable to resist him and was almost killed. It was Yuan Shao who crossed the river in person and went south.
Only then did he suppress him. However, even so, Yuan Shu was able to rise again, occupy Huainan and part of Xuzhou, and ordered Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong. It was not until a great famine that had not happened in a century broke out in the Jianghuai area that he was destroyed. It can be said that no one wants to live.
.
Now that Yuan Shu had already acquired Jingzhou, which had a vast territory, a large population and sufficient food, and was supplemented by the fierce tiger Sun Jian, could Yuan Shao still be able to control him as he had done in history?
The history south of the Yellow River in the Three Kingdoms has been completely messed up and changed beyond recognition.
What Gai Jun didn't know was that Pang De, who was in Mount Hengshan, would soon change history again, and this time the one affected was——
